Substitute Monday Weirdness

kybearfuzzThe joys of taking off a Monday is always counterbalanced by the feeling of it being "Monday" the next Tuesday morning. And it started off this morning with typical Monday weirdness.
The first event was my waking up and staring at the mirror to get ready to shave at 5:30 AM only to heard scratching at my closet door. I opened it to find Murphy the Cat in there who had apparently spent the night with my clothes. Last night around 10 PM, I last went into the closet to hang up a new pair of pants I'd bought. The little monster must have snuck in behind me unnoticed. I accidentally shut him in for the night. The 7.5 hour lockdown in cellblock C didn't seem to hurt him much, but he was very loving the rest of the morning. I've heard when you do hard time in solitary that prisoners are often more affectionate. Luckily, he seems to have "held it in" for the night as I didn't smell any presents in the closet and he went to the litter box before his morning treats.
The next thing was that the papasan chair pillows didn't find new homes it seems. The blue one was leaning against my garbage can this morning. It was heavy and I figured the kids weren't strong enough to drag it home. However, as I came up to the stop sign, I saw the green one next to the garbage can two houses down. The frames were no where to be seen. I can understand that a parent might not want the kids to bring things like that into the house with the current bed bug issues running about. Still, I was hoping they'd have gone to people who would have used them.
Finally, I won our Survivor competition without even trying. In the office, everyone draws a name before the season starts and if your person gets eliminated, you have to bring in donuts for the rest. I signed up because the coordinator needed another person. I don't even watch the show, but my gal managed to outlast the rest. So I don't have to bring in donuts for the masses and they have to take me out to lunch at some point.
Now I'm back in the office and staring at the looming piles. Softball tonight! I have the 8 and 9 PM games. Ugh. I'll be napping after work if I can.
